# 97: If you want chores to get done without the "thank you" trap, then...

from The Parenting Standard · host Priya Narthakii and Harry Goldberg

Imagine this: You’ve just showered your child with praise for cleaning their room, but the next day, it’s a disaster again. You realize with a sinking feeling that you’ve become a full-time manager, trapped in a cycle where your child only moves if you provide the "fuel" of a "thank you." Ask Harry & Priya a question: https://airtable.com/appuZrvCvTjxoMHNa/pagG0SbG2nSlWJay3/form | Level Up Your Parenting: https://www.successstacker.com | Stay in the Know: https://airtable.com/appuZrvCvTjxoMHNa/pagW1J7nJ0j8FAmpP/form | ----------------------------Even worse? Your teenager sees right through it. They aren't learning responsibility; they’re learning how to be manipulated. If you don't break the behaviorist loop now, you’re looking at a future of power struggles and apathy. We’re diving into why your "gentle" praise is actually driving a wedge between you and your child, and how to stop the rot before the "eye-rolls" become a permanent lifestyle.Stop managing from the outside in and start growing your child from the inside out.It's time to move past the eye-rolls and foster a home where contribution comes from the heart, not the hope of a reward.---------------------------- Do you have some questions, stories or experiences you hope could be featured on the podcast?
